food consists mainly of one item, and
that item is plaster of Paris and filth

Yes, verify, the case is as stated, The

himself vanquished. The standpoint of
our cannibal capitalists, in this matter of
variety in diet, at least, is logical and
unassailable. The writer perceives that,
in face of such convincing arguments,
there only remains one course open to
hlm-that course, to retire from the
arena. He feels there is only one word
to writc-that word, Scldh.
But, seriously. Messieurs les Cannibals,
your scheme, or any medication of it,
is unieasble as regards the workers and
undesirable as regards yourselves. Only
your chronic mental cecity explains the
otherwise incredible fact that you do
not see this, that in killing the workers
IN the wholesale manner proposed. yon
would be simply killing the goose that
lays you the golden eggs. The masses
must live upon something other than the
"rsing generation" or the "classes" AS
such-cannot exist. If they, the work
ers, eat themselves out of the world,
you, the idlers-as slch--cannot survive.
If there were no one to lrotiucc wealth,
it is certain no one could ENJOY it, Bet
ter for your own sake, to let them con-
tinue to eat ''mud SO long, at least, as
they are content to demand no better
fare--than to set them eating themselves.
You have more to lose by your annihila-
ton than they by their extinction.
And. finally. another thought. Is it
quite safe to talk of "the big ones eating
the little ones thus openly? Was not
your old policy less dangerous of only

but thoroughly characteristic opinions
you all more or less cherish in your
heart of heart of hearts. but only EXPIRE IS
when thrown off your guard: We do
not expect from you consideration ON
behalf of your workers-those who make
your wealth, and whom. had you the
power, you would unhesitatingly feed
with the flesh of their own children to-
morrow. One always hates those whom
one INJURIES. But is it not advisable to
exercise a little caution on behalf Of
yourselves? Remember. the workers
are at last becoming acquainted with
one or two economic facts. They are
learning that the only source Of wealth
is labor, and that those who to-day en-
JOY wealth are not the Laborers, but
the Idlers. Take heed, therefore You

THE WORSHIP OF DEMONS.
What Bishop Taylor Saw fn Africa-White

What Bishop Taylor Saw fn' 'Africa-White
Mans God Not OmnipreseEt.
DR.. Summers had reported that the next
town suitable for missionary station was
Pungo Andonga, and when the Nhanguepeppo
farm had been well started and the people at
Dondo who had been left behind had arrived,
Bishop Taylor set out unattended, save by
natives, for the new place 1t it distant
thirty-seven miles from Nhanguepeppo, across
the same kind Of hilly, uneven country that
the bishop had already traversed. Before
starting he sent word back to Dondo again
to the missionaries still resting there to follow
him and await further orders at Nhangue-
peppo.
The bishop made the trip in three days
Every day brought its evidence of the need
of his work in Africa. As he came toward
the end of long downward slope he observed
his carriers looking furtively at the side of
the path, and presently one of them picked
up stone. The others did the same thing,
and while the bishop was still wondering
what they wanted of the stones, be saw them
throw their missiles aside. The men had
added the stones to high irregular heap Of
similar stones that stood by the path. To the
bishop this thing had no significance what
ever; there was apparently no use for the pile
either as n landmark or an ornament he
questioned one of the carriers about IT. The
fellow hung his head sheepishly.
"At this point, be said, "we enter stretch
of country that, lying low between the hills
as it does, has often been exceedingly dam
gerous TO all kinds Of travellers. Fierce ami
mails dwell here, and the legend throughout
all the land is that they are the slaves Of a
wicked demon who dwells in the dark thicket.
The animals are not to be feared unless the
demon bids them work, whereupon they rush
out and destroy whoever may be passing
For many years-hundreds, it is said-the
people have been accustomed 10 defeat the
demon by building up the stone heap. 1t Is
powerful fetish, before which the deSnon
cannot avail
But exclaimed the bishop, surely you
have lived among the white men and have
learned of them about the true God. You
know better than this. Do YOU not under
stand that miserable stone heap is worth
less against wild animals, and that there is no
demon TO be feared in the thicket.-
"Ah,a replied the African, Il have heard Of
such things from the white men al the coast.
but who knows that their Gcd ever comes as
far as this. The demon may dwell in the
thicket after all, and it is as well TO be On the
safe side. Your God cannot take offense at
that. Africa Cor Globe Democrat

Stables in the Streets.

New Workers are complaining against the
common practice of leaving carts, trucks and
wagons in the street over night, thus convert
ing these thoroughfares into the uses of a
stable. The evil is greatest in the tenement
house neighborhood below Fourteenth street,
but the streets in the upper part of the city,
and even Broadway, suffer from the nuisance.
These distractions are source of much in
convenience in various ways, and afford lurk-
ing places for thieves-Chicago Times

has directed the financial affairs of tn,
government with apt ability, has strength
ened the public credit and thereby given u
period Of great industry and commercial
prosperity. Apprehension in the minds Of
some that the advent of our party to the
control of the federal government would
De dangerous has been dispelled. Our
people are more contented and well to do
than IN years and more respected than ever
by other nations. His period of admins
tratlon has been pure, economical and fear
less and meets the approval Of all fair
minded and conservative citizens.
Third. We recognize the material bene
hts which this country has received from
immigration. We endorse the Legislation
OF congress against the importation of con.
tract labor and compel the return of usu.
pers and criminals. We commen,, the
national administration for its efforts to rig
idly enforce these laws, and while we are
opposed to any iliberal restrictions, we
favor such additional measures of regula-
tion as may be found necessary.
Fourth. We favor liberal pensions to de-
serving Union soldiers anil sailors and refer
TO the action Of the present administration
IN adding TO the pension roll larger num-
Der than was ever before placed thereon
within corresponding period, while at
tha same time protecting the treasury from
fraudulent claims as proof of this fact.
Fifth. We point with pride to the fact
that since the Democratic party has been
In power in any branch of the federal gov
ernment, not one acre of the public land
has been granted to corporations, nor has
any land grant been revived or extended.
The sixth. seventh and eighth sections
deal with the state affairs and are mainly

lation.
The ninth section declares in favor of |
home rule for Ireland and closes as follows: |
We still hold to the ancient doctrine of |
the party that the preservation |
Of the rights of the people |
demand that we should look with |
Jealousy upon monopolists and restricts |
corporate power within its proper sphere |
and we heartily approve the action of the |
national administration in reclaiming and |
throwing open to the people for settlement |
one hundred million acres of lands which |
through artifice and fraud were wrongfully
held by corporations, having been forfeited |
10 the people by failure to comply with
the conditions of the grant
